Yesterday, (August 28, 2012) a 50-year-old surfer riding waves created by Hurricane Isaac drowned after getting caught in a rip current near Packery Channel in Corpus Christi, Texas, according to a story in KIIItv.com.
Nearby surfers were able to pull him to shore and start CPR. Paramedics got to the scene minutes later. Unfortunately, the man did later die at the hospital. . . “There is a very strong current out there right now,” said Timothy Netek with the Corpus Christi Fire Department. “As you can tell, even the surfers are taking it very cautiously. Anybody without a lot of experience in this water should avoid it at this time.”
Our thoughts are with the surfer’s family and friends.

Penny Organic (the boards we saw at Agenda NYC) are going nation wide on September 1, 2012. These plastic fantastic decks, which feature an ingredient that makes them completely biodegradable, will come in a slew of new color ways.
Penny Founder Ben Mackay said, “We’re continually trying to raise the bar with our products and the Penny Organic range is no different. We’ve put a lot of time and energy into making sure the boards ride well, are durable, and of course look good. Every Organic Skateboard comes wrapped in a custom burlap tote bag that perfectly complements the range. The result is a product that really challenges just what truly is possible with plastic skateboards”.
For the official word from Penny, follow the jump. [click to continue…]

Here’s a little of what the LA level of Tony Hawk Pro Skater HD looks like. This DLC (downloadable content) pack (including the Airport) is supposedly “expected soon,” according to a story on VG247.com.
Activision had promised gamers future DLC in the form of popular Tony Hawk 3 level Airport, but the content has still to surface. However, leaked footage of the level and several more has appeared online.
Almost makes us want to get a PS3 so we can download THPS HD when it becomes available tonight (August 28, 2012) at 5 PM.

It’s amazing that with season after season of delivering ground breakngly progressive video parts that Burton’s Jeremy Jones isn’t ready to coast for a season or two . According to the second teaser from Burton’s upcoming film 13, nothing could be further from the truth:
I just want people to get stoked on snowboarding and take away a different idea set. . . . I guess that’s the driving force. It’s just like, what can somebody see me do that’s going to get them stoked.”
Yes, he does it all for the fans.
